tons of laughs, Nov 8 2005

Viewing this collection will have you laughing forever. This guy is witty, creative and has an uncanny ability to know what is going to make us laugh. Taking advantage of people who crave media exposure, and duping them so effectively, is ingenious! This guy is a brilliant comedian.

One of HBO's Funniest Shows, Jan 3 2006

I was very upset to hear that Sacha Baron Cohen would not be returning for a third season but this DVD does provide some closer. If you missed Da Ali G Show when it first aired or if you want to relive the comedy then this DVD is right for you.
I hate when people say Ali G is offensive and racist when in fact he is just basically poking fun at himself. Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish and most of his humor is just stupid fun. There are several appearances by politicians who try to survive Ali's odd and idiotic line of questioning. Then there's Borat the anti-Semitic person from Kazakhstan. Finally there's Bruno the Austrian fashion guru who attempts to makes other uncomfortable by acting as homosexual as possible. I have never laughed so hard at any HBO show and I highly recommend it.
Even though forty dollars seems a bit much for twelve, half hour segments you will get you money's worth over and over again. This set is a great addition to anyone's collection and I highly recommend it.

Politically Hilarious, Mar 23 2006

It's amazing how this comic genious gets to interview so many people and they are unaware of what is to come. Three different personalities, one simply hysterical show. I recommend this DVD combo to anyone with an open mind, or anyone with at least a sense of humor. Definately worth every penny.
